Squirrel has a habit. No matter how cold the weather is, it doesn't eat in its nest. Instead, it sits on a branch, facing the sunrise, delivers food to its mouth with its forelimbs, chews and tastes with relish, sometimes pricks up its ears and sometimes turns its eyes to look around.

Life habits of squirrels:

Squirrels have long ears and tails and can adapt to life in trees. They hang upside down from the branches with claws and tails like long hooks. At dawn and evening, they also leave the trees and hunt on the ground. After finding enough food in autumn, squirrels will use tree holes or dig holes in the ground to store fruits and other foods, and at the same time block the holes with dirt or fallen leaves.

Squirrels are generally herbivores. Their food is mainly seeds and nuts, and they also eat fruits such as cherries. Some species will eat insects, and some tropical species will even migrate to prey on insects, and even take tit chicks away.

Squirrels nest in dense branches, or use abandoned nests of crows and magpies, and sometimes nest in tree holes; They eat not only wild fruits, but also twigs, buds, leaves, insects and eggs. As soon as autumn comes, squirrels begin to store food. Squirrels often store several kilograms of food in several places.
